Our kitties are always shelter cats and their lives change immensely when they get to our home. Mom's first dog was also a shelter dog. If a shelter rescue dog is right for you, it is a wonderful thing. So glad Ruby found a good home and is so happy now.

Ruby your eyes went from no expression in #1 to full of stars and twinkles and love. Your mouth went from a means to eat to a full fledged 87 million watt smile. TLC is the best medicine in the universe.Hugs madi your bfff

Happy Joyful Gotcha Day, Ruby!!! We could see the difference in your eyes in even the first two pics, from caged to free and loved. But the true story is seen in ALL those gorgeous photos of beautiful Ruby with that great big happy smile. A life of love gives one so much to smile about.

Wow, I can't believe it has been four years. The change in Ruby is so great. She went from a sad dog to a very happy one. We are so glad that she found such a wonderful family. Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving.

Ruby's photos certainly tell a story. It's absolutely amazing to see her transformation, and she actually looks like she's smiling. Love and patience can make a world of difference for a rescued animal. Thank you so much for sharing Ruby with us. I just adore her.

Happy Anniversary Ruby & Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family. It is so sad to hear that you were neglected in the past. But the sparkle in your eyes now show that you are happy & loved dearly with your current family. Hugs!

Wow, this is some powerful photo journalism! You can see the difference and the happiness on Ruby's beautiful face as she progresses to joy and happiness over these last few years.
